Siberian Accentor Infux 2016

A friend of ours created these spectacular designs to commemorate the unprecedented influx of Siberian Accentors in the autumn of 2016 - you can have them printed on almost anything from T-shirts and hoodies to mugs and iPhone cases. The revenue is going to a worthy cause. Check out the artist's shop  here
